Reminisce feat. SoJay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I love myself no homo
they said rap for me was a no-no
that area is a no go
but mi ki n se Yaya Sanogo
so mo gesin wole bi polo
then I brush my shoulders and walk around
like I own this bitch
mo n lead awon were n follow
In "Grind," Reminisce reflects on his rise to success in the rap industry as a solo artist. He acknowledges the challenges he faced early in his career, when others told him that rapping was not a viable option for him. However, Reminisce remained determined and persevered despite the negative feedback. He is proud of his accomplishments and feels confident, brushing off any naysayers.
The line "mi ki n se Yaya Sanogo" is an interesting one. Yaya Sanogo is actually a Malian footballer who played for the French club Arsenal FC. The reference here is that like Sanogo, Reminisce is an underdog in his field, but he still has the potential to succeed. The lyrics show that he is not shaken by the challenges he faces and is more than willing to take risks and prove himself.
Overall, the song is an ode to the creative and resilient spirit of those who grind and fight to achieve their dreams, urging others to also pursue their ambitions and talents.
